Moving Bed
 

Hi all,

I want to simulate a moving bed in a cylindrical tube. Hot air inlets from the tube side near the bottom and leaves near the top. Cold spheres enters from the top and leave the bottom of the tube. The Spheres flow rate at inlet equals that at the outlet and the tube is always full. The speed of the spheres is slow in comparison to the air.

I want to determine the temperature distribution at steady state.

Thanks a lot in advance.
